Virgin Atlantic: a four star airline 4 Star Rating: OK, not bad
► International Business Class
Seat is good and flat, but on some aircraft very tired.
Food is good, and with an in flight bar
Lounges amazing, with great facilities.
► International Economy Class
Seat is OK, but not leading the pack.
Entertainment Ok, not the best, but free and AVOD
Food & Drinks so-so food: not really the best. Free bar is good.
Aircraft can be quite tired.

The worst aircraft to start with aircraft used looked like the USA reject. Secondly, The meal served was the worst experience ever We travel at least 3 to 4 times a year but due to Covid we had not travelled and were looking forward to traveling to Mumbai and I have my regrets.We travelled from Mumbai to Jaipur which is only 1 hour 15 minutes flight and the meal was 80 better then meal served by Virgin Atlantic. After napping, I asked for a fizzy drink which was brought after 49 minutes. Just a terrible experience. Why is The London to USA sector have better aircrafts, better meals and better service???????????? Out Travel dates 28102022 and inbound 19112022

I would like to say that the Virgin Atlantic flight 103 from London to Atlanta that my wife and I had was excellent. The Service was great and the cabin crew could not have been better. We were seated in premium economy and crew members, Lauren and Louis were wonderful. They are examples of the kind of care and service that Virgin Atlantic has given us with our flights. Again, whatever they are paid, it isn't enough! Thanks for a great flight.

Travelled NovDec 2018 to and from Nigeria.I had selected my seat months ahead. On arrival at the checkin desk on 22112018 @ Heathrow, I was told that someone else had expressed preference for the seat because they were in a wheelchair although, the individual "didn't really need it" according to the checkin. I didn't insist on being seated in the original seat. The alternative turned out to be a nightmare for me as the passenger next to me was the most physically aggressive individual who wanted to occupy his and my seat. I chose chicken curry for my meal on the return journey. Curry as it turned out was cooked chicken with it's juice, some hot peeper sauce in a separate container. When, I spoke with the Server, I was introduced to the sauce as the curry. The alternative meal was supposed to be a Nigerian dish of jollof rice and meat stew. Well that tasted like no Nigerian food I've ever tasted. I say at least get it right if you want to present authentic food options.Certainly, more control of customers' inflight behaviour could be useful. I'm most reluctant to use the service in the future.

My recent trip to Miami from London was an absolute pleasure because of the way my wife and I and indeed everyone on board was treated by the wonderful staff of virgin Atlantic. I would not hesitate to travel with this airline anywhere in the world and thank you for making our holiday such a wonderful experience.

Made a reservation and cancelled within an hour. Their policy is if paid by Credit Card the refund is within 7 day. Here I am at 12 days, no refund just a run around. Very disappointed in Virgin as I have flown with then numerous times to London.
